KNOW YOU

Thump… thump… thump

Acknowledge…

As our hearts harmonized

Attached like clones

We moved as one

Spoke the same language

Ate from the same plate

Inhaled the same air.

We were in perfect accord

We were the same coin

As we moved in step

No leader, no disciple

You smiled, I laughed

You cried, I wept

You pained, I agonized

Our souls sang the same song.

Tick… tick… tick

Time flashed by 

The union is broken

Babel emerges

I sob, you grin

I ache, you giggle

I sicken, you rejoice

I appease, you threaten.

My heart cracks and breaks

As you monk me, you kick me

We are constantly at war

You spit at me, you disrespect me

You hate me

You wish for my death

Who have we become?

Our souls moan for the loss.
